Sneak Peek.... - Page 2 - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Yes folks, exactly what Mike said! I did not want to go into all features as it could be mis-construed as a hyping up my product but they are everything Mike described.

Mr. Sandman:Mike started using them in the Fall, I and a number of other casters that were demoing them started using them in June. We all cast with braid andlall of us fish 3-6 nights a week. Not one glove failed!! Plus, they do keep your hands very warm even when wet. I was using a pair over the weekend with the frigid cold, shoveling snow and building snow men and snow mounds with the kids....they were perfect. They also allow you to work, as in change plugs, tie knots and handle fish more effectively. They alo dry pretty quickly if left to air our.

PaulS: I will not be at Springfield but will be at Rockland and will hopefully have Ramsey there to offer them to the consumers.

Thanks again folks.....I can't wait for the Spring!

That is a good review Mike, thanks for letting us know

I have one question Kadir, do they come in giant size? I have huge hands to go along with my size 14 feet.

Rock Hopper · 01-26-2005, 09:31 AM

Slip,

They go up to XL, which is pretty large but I remember you do have monster hands...... you will have to try a pair on bud.

Thanks Kadir, I'm sure I'll find some at one of the shows.

Kadi - any thumb open models for conventionals

? I'd hate to cut the thumb off of one...

Rock Hopper · 01-26-2005, 01:15 PM

No John, they are all full fingers but Myself and a couple of other's threw conventional with them with no ill effects

Obviously not as sensitive as the bare hand but suprisingly sensitve and plenty of dexterity.

Hey Rock Hopper,

When are you guys going to make a leader wallet that works in the surf?

I would buy it.

Zac's,

Have you looked at the small pouch?

That is an amost all in one pouch. Can store leaders, terminal tackle, 5 & 6 rubber shads. If you haven't looked into this little honey, you might want to

It measures about 5 inches long by about 1 1/2 wide (when empty) but it's expandable and is about 4 inches high.

It really works well.

Check it out.

I have looked at the pouch, what happens to me is that I like to tie a whole bunch of leaders with hooks or snaps, with teasers, and I find when fishing, especially at night, I need to be able to quickly flip through the leaders to get to the specific hook/snap/teaser I want. I have tried the pouch of my plugbag, but I can't get it well organized and find myself dropping leaders, or I have to pull out everything and it is a pain in the butt. At first I was using CD wallets, but the zippers are pretty much useless in the saltwater. I have bought a couple specifically meant for surfcasting. One fell off my belt, and on one the leaders wouldn't stay in the sleeves well, and they would fall out if you opened it up upside down. Nothing like spending all winter tying leaders to see them washing around at your feet, or worse, feel down for them at your belt and find they are nowhere to be found. The reason I like your products is that you take all of this into consideration. I will buy your pouch for 6" storms, though. I always have a hard time trying to figure out where to put them.
Thanks,
Zac

ZACS,

THANKS FOR THE REPLY. I AGREE WITH YOU WHEN IT COMES TO THE LEADER WALLETS BEING LESS THAN IDEAL. I HAVE GIVEN THIS A LOT OF THOUGH AND MY COME UP WITH SOMETHING IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT COULD BE MADE BETTER.

WITH REGARD TO THE LEADERS, I PUT TWO INTO SMALL ZIP LOCK BACKS LIKE THE ONES USED IN WEST MARINE OR BOATERS WORLD FOR THE SCREWS AND NUTS THEY SELL. I WRITE ON THE BAG IN PERMAMENT MARKER AS TO WHAT LB. LEADER IT IS AND WHETHER IT IS FLOURO OR MONO.

I CAN PULL THEM ONE AT A TIME AND HAVEN'T YET DROPPED ONE INTO THE WAS YET. I ALSO TEND TO OVER FILL MY BAGS AND HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS SYSTEM.

IF ANYBODY HAS ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS, THIS WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO DOP THEM IN HERE.

Hi Kadir
Nice job on gloves ,cant wait to try them on at one of the shows.
As an admitted wuss who fishes with gloves from April to November (don't laugh , I drove back from East Hampton last year because I left my gloves at home ............after sitting in traffic for 2 hours.Yeah ,I know.I DIDN'T say I was smart) I am tired of going thru 1/2 a dozen NSR gloves a year.You guys doing the Freeport show ?
ps
Any lefty out there want to trade ?I got at least a dozen left hand gloves in pristine condition
lol

Rock Hopper · 01-29-2005, 08:50 AM

Hey Zeno,

How are ya bud? Who says you aren't smart

? You just want what you want the way you want it....there is nothing wrong with that.

As for the Freeport show, no, we will not be there as I will be doing the CT show during that weekend.

I am sure we will se each other at some point. I did show them to Tom Melton, editor of the LI Fisherman, yesterday and he was literally ready to highjack my prototype but they didn't fit and said he wants a pair as soon as possible. He also loved the single row bag!

So, when I see ya is when you will probably see them

On to the sugestions I asked about, no one has any

Come on you guys, that is a poor showing from some crafty and creative folks on this site

Give it up, I know you have your own ideas

I am waiting....

Kadir
